BON 44C - Paul Easter's car in the '65 Munich-Vienna-Budapest Rally
BON 44C: Does anyone know anything about this car and why Easter was in a "disguised" rather than full-on works car?

Borrowed from the net - "Motorsport magazine."
"B.M.C. were using three crews in support of Aaltonen, partly as a form of insurance and partly to give them control of the class and the improvement made within it. Steyr Puch and Lancia did the same with their classes by entering masses of ” private owners.” The bright young boy from Bradford who won a coupe des Alpes on his first appearance on the Continent—Tony Fall—was teamed with Ron Crellin, who had often in the past been given the job of going with mad young men to see how suitable they are for the B.M.C. Team, and they went very well to finish second in class to Aaltonen, and with Paul Easter/Henry Liddon and the winning car, B.M.C. also took the team prize. The fourth B.M.C. car was driven by a very mature pair, Geoff Halliwell and Mike Wood, who had the misfortune to invert the car on one of the special stages, fortunately without much damage to themselves."
Didn't Aaltonen then win a snowy RAC to become Champion?
